Hair decoration member

ABSTRACT

Disclosed is a hair decoration member which comprising a fastening part and a sheathing part. The fastening part is formed of a flexible metal, and the sheathing part is formed of silicones or thermoplastic rubber and covering the outer surface of the fastening part. By the skidproof property of the sheathing part, the hair decoration member can be strongly attached to hair without making user feel uncomfortable.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a hair decoration, and moreparticularly to a hair decoration member that can be strongly attachedto hair without damaging the hair.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Hair is absolutely important for people, especially for women. Havingbeautiful hair is highly desired by women, and may earn extra praisefrom people. Thus, how to conveniently arrange beautiful hair and withbright decoration on hair is a subject for people who concern abouttheir hair.

Generally speaking, people use hair decorations to arrange their hair.There are many types of hair decorations, such as a drop hairclip, aFrench clip, a hair stick, a hair pin, and the like. Such hairdecorations usually are attached to the hair, by clipping, inserting, orwinding, to get a desired hairstyle and to decorate the hair. The hairdecorations thus are considered as good companions for the hair.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

However, in order to keep the hairstyle, it usually needs to apply alarge attaching force to attach the hair by the hair decoration. It thuscauses the hair in a situation of being hurt and being uncomfortable. Onthe other hand, a hair decoration attaching to the hair with lessattaching force tends to be easily loosened from hair. Thus, theconventional hair decoration meets the difficulty to acquire benefitsboth in convenience and comfortability.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a hairdecoration member that can be strongly attached to hair without damagingthe hair.

The present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art, andprovides a hair decoration member comprising: a fastening part formed ofa flexible metal for fastening the hair decoration member to hair; and asheathing part formed of silicones or thermoplastic rubber and coveringthe outer surface of the fastening part with a thickness of 0.5˜10 mm.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the hair decoration member isprovided with a drop hairclip configuration which is attached to thehair by clipping of the fastening part to the hair and friction betweenthe sheathing part and the hair.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the hair decoration member isprovided with a French clip configuration which is attached to the hairby clamping of the fastening part to the hair and friction between thesheathing part and the hair.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the hair decoration member isprovided with a hair stick configuration which is attached to the hairby inserting of the fastening part to the hair and friction between thesheathing part and the hair.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the hair decoration member isprovided with a hair pin configuration which is attached to the hair byclipping of the fastening part to the hair and friction between thesheathing part and the hair.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the hair decoration member isprovided with a hair band configuration which is attached to the hair bywinding of the fastening part to the hair and friction between thesheathing part and the hair.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the hair decoration member isprovided with a hair hoop configuration which is attached to the hair byhooping of the fastening part to the hair and friction between thesheathing part and the hair.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the sheathing part has aconvex portion.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the hair decoration memberfurther comprises a decorating part connected with the fastening part.

Thereby, the hair decoration member of the present invention can acquirebenefits both in convenience and comfortability. When in use, the hairdecoration member can be strongly attached to hair to prevent from beingloosened from hair. By plasticity of the sheathing part, the attachingforce to the hair is adjusted as appropriate, and the possibility ofdamaging the hair is thus lowered. When the hair decoration member isapplied by a compression force, an impact force, or a pulling force, itcan be deformed, by flexibility of the fastening part and plasticity andductility of the sheathing part, to release the force that may damagethe hair and damage the hair decoration member, and will return to aprevious shape after deformation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIGS. 1-3. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hairdecoration member according to a first embodiment of the presentinvention, FIG. 2 is a cross-section view of the hair decoration memberof FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing illustrating the hairdecoration member according to the first embodiment of the presentinvention in use.

As shown in FIGS. 1-3. A hair decoration member 1 according to the firstembodiment of the present invention includes a fastening part 11 and asheathing part 12. The fastening part 11 is formed of a flexible metalfor fastening the hair decoration member 1 to hair. The flexible metalmeans a metal material having flexibility. The sheathing part 12 isformed of silicones or thermoplastic rubber and covers the outer surfaceof the fastening part 11 with a thickness T of 0.5˜10 mm. Silicones,also called as polymerized siloxanes, polysiloxanes, or silicone rubber,have properties of plasticity, low thermal conductivity, low chemicalreactivity, low toxicity, thermal stability, water repellent, electricalinsulation, not sticking to many substrates, oxidation resistance, andultraviolet resistance. Thermoplastic rubber is a material that hasproperties of both rubber and plastic. Thermoplastic rubber has manydifferent types and intricate components and they have a variety of usesin almost every industry worldwide.

In this embodiment, the hair decoration member 1 is provided with a drophairclip configuration having an outer frame portion and an innerportion disposed within the frame portion and connected with a part ofthe outer frame portion, as shown in FIG. 1. When in use, the outerframe portion and the inner portion are bent respectively in oppositedirections, and clip hair 2 therebetween by theirs resilient restoringforce, as shown in FIG. 3. And, friction between the sheathing part 12and the hair 2 makes a strong attachment to prevent the hair decorationmember 1 from being loosened from the hair 2. Further, by plasticity andductility of the sheathing part 12, the attaching force to the hair 2 isadjusted as appropriate to lower the possibility of damaging the hair.Moreover, when the hair decoration member 1 is applied by a compressionforce, an impact force, or a pulling force, it can be deformed, byflexibility of the fastening part 11 and plasticity and ductility of thesheathing part 12, to release the force that may damage the hair andbreak the hair decoration member 1, and will return to a previous shapeafter deformation. The sheathing part 12 in this embodiment has aplurality of convex portions 13, and the friction to the hair 2 is thusincreased with the increasing contact area.
